question 42

Multiple Choice

You are a forester charged with increasing productivity in a South American forest newly planted with pines from Oregon.

To count how many fungal species were present in the Oregon forest, which methodology would you choose?

• A) Count all the plant species and multiply by 6, as David Hawksworth did when determining the ratio of fungal to plant species in England.

• C) Do direct sequencing on representative soil samples from across the forest.
• D) Expose the trees to radiolabeled carbon dioxide and then collect the soil samples with the greatest radioactivity and do direct sequencing.
